The ASEM SMEs Eco-Innovation Center (ASEIC) was established in 2011, with the principal mandate of promoting Asia-Europe cooperation to create and enhance eco-innovation of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in both regions.
ASEIC encourages ASEM member countries to accelerate the SMEs green innovation and green management practices, and disseminating the effectiveness of such measures worldwide.
This year, ASEIC is launching a pilot project called ‘Eco-innovative Consulting Services for SMEs'.
Selected expert groups will provide consulting service to participating SMEs, fully financed by ASEIC, within an environmentally beneficial and economically viable framework to raise awareness of the fact that considering environment in their businesses is not costly but rather cost-effective in the long term.
The consulting services will provide SMEs with the implementation of a holistic and multifaceted approach to furthering eco-innovation, from sharing core environmental regulations, innovative techniques and practices.
Thus, ASEIC plans to recruit consulting firms/organizations and SMEs of ASEM member countries to implement and participate on the project.
Please refer to the Project Information Document or visit our website www.aseic.org for further information.
Yours sincerely,
General Manager / Lee, Tae Sung
